Since December the 3rd when I wake up in morning and clear throat I’m noticing blood mixed with my phlegm sometimes pink sometimes red and sometimes when I cough I’m getting red blood mixed with mucus I’ve been a+e twice about this had chest xray twice and bloods twice and they say there both fine but the problem is still present and I’m worried because of my age (29) I’m not being taken serious and something Is being missed I’ve recently seen my gp and she wasent worried either but the blood has to be coming from somewhere the last 2 months I’ve done nothing but stress about this and I don’t know what to do anymore 

  • Hi Lukeh1905,

    It's good to hear that you've had this checked out and that they don't seem concerned.

    I understand you still have some uncertainty around this though and would like some answers. Unfortunately it's very difficult for anyone here to advise on this - really it's only your doctor who can do this.

    If things continue or you have questions or further concerns, the best thing to do would be to try to speak to your doctor again. If you don't feel comfortable speaking to the same person, you can always ask for a second opinion.

    Best wishes,
